hmmm...guess you will have to tweak things a bit...or just see if they get easier to close as you use them...

...or keep slamming them....

I can picture that

Have you contacted gmcpauls to ask him or are you going to try to tweak either the jams or hinges?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

i honestly dont know what to do , might try to tweak the flange where they pinch on like JTP said , they are tight in a couple spots and i am hoping the more the doors are setting closed hopefully they are compressing them some

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

When I built my truck, I had a terrible time with the door seals. Tried 3 or 4 different styles/brands. I finally ponied up the cash for Soffseals. Total night and day difference. Mine closed right from the get go, with just a little effort. Mine close easier with the window cracked, It will pop your ears if you don't.

I hate to say thi but I had this same problem with my green truck. I finally got sick of fixing the door gaps because it would make them off. So I cut the rubber on the outside and never looked back. Sold the truck 2 months later
